I think that "challenges were flushed" is a very curious locution, indeed. Flushed as in "toilet" or flushed as in poker? Very, very curious altogether! And what exactly was the challenge? The addition problem? Does the fact that they were "flushed" mean that there's going to be harder math questions coming up because all the easy ones have been flushed?

I agree. The first time it

I agree. The first time it popped up I nearly ran to hide in the corner, scared that the computer was going to wipe everything I'd written. Luckily, I figured out it was harmless. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
